Chapter 389: Chapter 389 Xiahou Yi Has Long Been Dead

Yin Hehe returned to the company.

Originally, she had intended to tell Sheng Siyuan about this matter. But after some thought, she felt that this man didn’t even care about Sheng Huainan.

So such a trivial matter was even less worth mentioning to him.

Yin Hehe continued to be busy with her work.

At three in the afternoon, her best friend Caicai called, saying she and Meishan Qiandai had already found a suitable wedding planning company for Jin Jinxiu, as well as bridal gowns and jewelry, and wanted her to have a look.

Yin Hehe agreed.

After she organized the documents on her desk, she came out only to find Sheng Huainan waiting for her at the door.

"Sister-in-law, how about we chat?"

Hanging around there casually, he even called her "sister-in-law."

Yin Hehe’s gaze narrowed, "Don’t call me that recklessly, if there’s something you want to talk about, come to my office next time."

After finishing speaking, she lifted her foot to leave.

"But what if what I have to say is about the Xiahou Family?" Suddenly, he casually threw out the surname like that from behind her.

Yin Hehe’s steps halted.

The Xiahou Family?

She turned her head to look at this person, her gaze as sharp as a knife.

Sheng Huainan slowly made his way over, "You don’t need to be nervous, I just wanted to tell you that ever since Xiahou Yi died, their family has been living very miserably in the capital!"

"What did you say?" Yin Hehe’s face finally changed.

"Who died?"

"Xiahou Yi, sister-in-law, you can’t be unaware of this, right?"

Sheng Huainan approached her and, seeing that she was showing a look of shock, he was also quite surprised.

Yin Hehe was stunned for a moment.

She really didn’t know about this. How could the old man be dead? Wasn’t he in Chongzhou?

No, the last time they had gone to Chongzhou, he indeed seemed very unwell!

But these past few months, she had heard no news of him having any trouble, could it be...

Yin Hehe felt a pang in her heart, and a very bad premonition rose to the surface.

"How did you come to know about this?"

"I have many partying pals, but it’s normal for you not to know. I heard that when the old man died, hardly anyone in the capital even knew. His family cremated him and scattered his ashes in the sea where he always stayed, probably to feed the fish he raised."

Sheng Huainan recounted in detail everything he knew, up to the scattering of Xiahou Yi’s ashes into the sea off Chongzhou.

He even cracked a joke about it.

Yin Hehe finally lost her temper, raised her hand, and slapped him across the face!

"Shut your mouth!"

She exhibited a fury she had never shown before!

Sheng Huainan was completely taken aback.

People from the Sales Department and the Legal Department heard the commotion and ran out to see what was happening.

But at that moment, Yin Hehe, whose mind was in complete disarray, went straight to the elevator and up to the top floor.

The old man was actually dead!

On her way to the top floor, Yin Hehe’s buzzing mind was swirling with just a few words.

When she finally reached the CEO’s office, Sheng Siyuan looked up and also saw her pale face.

"What’s wrong? Are you still feeling unwell from what happened at noon?"

He immediately put down his pen and got up from his office desk.

It turned out that he already knew about the incident at noon.

But Yin Hehe looked at him and shook her head.

"No, honey, I just heard some news that... Xiahou Yi is dead!"

She exerted a great deal of effort just to utter those words.

What exactly was her attitude towards that old man?

In truth, it was quite complex!

She hated his autocracy, yet she had to admit that he was an exceptional manager and a distinguished statesman.

His governance, whether in family or state matters, was beyond reproach.

It was known that for many years, the world had been very peaceful, something many found difficult to achieve.

As for politics, she did not quite understand, but she felt that if the imperial capital had managed to maintain such balance for many years, he certainly had played an indispensable role.

Thus, his only flaw might have been his overly cold-blooded nature towards his own family!

Yin Hehe looked at the man before her.

Yet she noticed that, when he had finished speaking, his expression was one of bewilderment, just like hers when she first heard the news from Sheng Huainan, unable to believe it was real.

It wasn’t until he looked into Yin Hehe’s eyes and clearly sensed the certainty in them that his dark pupils contracted, and the color slowly drained from his handsome face.

"How did he die?" he asked.

Yin Hehe shook her head, "But it is said that his ashes were scattered into that sea, so, not many people in the imperial capital know he is already dead."

"..."

A long silence ensued.

Was this concealment intentional?

Of course, it was serious business to keep from the people of the imperial capital.

Obviously not, the old man must have wanted, most likely, to keep it from the two of them.

Sheng Siyuan stepped towards the towering glass window, one step at a time.

The afternoon sun, viewed from this angle, enveloped the entire city in his gaze, like a king at the pinnacle of a tower, overlooking his subjects.

"You go out first, I need to be alone for a bit," he said after a moment.

Yin Hehe nodded her head and then turned to leave.

His reaction was, in fact, the normal one. He was not a truly cold-blooded person, having spent so long in the imperial capital, entangled with the old man for so long, how could he possibly feel nothing about the old man’s death?

So, the indifference he displayed in Chongzhou was just a façade.

Yin Hehe returned to the Legal Department and immediately called Sheng Huainan into her office.

"What exactly did you want to trade earlier?" she asked him coldly.

Sheng Huainan had only just managed to recover, and upon encountering her piercing look, he could not help but touch his own face.

"I wasn’t trading anything ah? I just wanted you to agree to let Axue come to the company," he said.

"Is that all?" Yin Hehe asked.

"This matter is easy to handle, but what do you have to trade? You don’t think that just that sentence earlier could be used as a bargaining chip?"

"That’s definitely not the case!" Sheng Huainan immediately denied.

"I can also tell you, with Xiahou Yi dead, who is now in charge of the entire Xiahou Family. I’m not afraid of anything, just that in the end, someone will target my brother, what do we do then?" he said, touching his face again, somewhat aggrieved.

Yin Hehe’s expression suddenly shifted.

This was actually also her concern!

However, she remembered when they were in Chongzhou, Xiahou Yi had talked to Sheng Siyuan in the house while she overheard from outside. It seemed like Xiahou Yi intended for Sheng Siyuan not to get involved,

saying that once those people had vented, the Xiahou Family would become ordinary people, no longer the focus of attention.

Did that ordinary person include his son too?
